The president of the United States sent a clear message to his co-conspirators this morning when he announced he would be issuing a full pardon for conservative conspiracy theorist Dinesh D’Souza, who was indicted in 2014 for felony campaign violation.

D’Souza then was forced to serve eight whole months in a “halfway house,” where, according to his “book,”Stealing America: What My Experience with Criminal Gangs Taught Me about Obama, Hillary, and the Democratic Party, he discovered the truth about racism in America in a series of almost certainly fictional discussions with his fellow inmates.

That “truth” was the disingenuous narrative that the Ku Klux Klan was originally created by “Democrats” and that racism in America is the fault of the Democrats, which was just one of the many preposterous and demonstrably false conspiracy theories that he has been pushing on the fringes of conservative thought for years and have now fully mainstream.

D’Souza’s conviction for a crime that he plead guilty toturned him into a martyr for the right-wing, who chose to see him as a victim of a tyrannical Obama regime intent on punishing a conservative instead of the just retribution for a man who was either too stupid or too lazy to support his friend’s election campaign in a legal manner.

just insanely corrupt, absolutely without justification, a flagrant and aggressive abuse of pardoning power

D’Souza’s pardon by President Trump sends a loud and clear message to everyone on his campaign team who is currently facing indictment from Special Counsel Mueller’s team – stand strong and receive a pardon, no matter how guilty you might be.
